Thank you, Minister, for joining us today.
As you know, I'm a former small business owner. I was very happy with this budget, not only because of the decrease in the small-business tax rate but also because of the women's entrepreneurship strategy. I know that my colleagues have brought it up before, but I wanted to tell you exactly why I was excited to see it there. It meant not only that my challenges as a woman in business were real and possibly systematic but also that the government had listened to that and made a significant investment to try to support women in business.
You discussed the pillars of the strategy and the fact that there'll be more assistance to encourage women entrepreneurs to enter into procurement and export. Can you tell us what you feel the potential is of having more women-owned businesses participating in those two areas?
